Beta

Swain is stronger than perceived, especially in lower elos; when fed, he can carry games unexpectedly well.As Support Swain, prioritize movement speed and ability haste runes; leverage his high sustain for favorable trades.Avoid mid-round first picks; use him as a psychological 1st pick or a counter 5th pick, viable in multiple roles.

Tip

Although laning against Bard is relatively easy, be careful of being stunned with Cosmic Binding(Q). Keep in mind that Bard will roam often so keep your teammates informed of Bard’s position beforehand and try to help them with Vision of Empire [W].
